This reminds me of another 80's recipe (which I never tried btw) where you open a pack of chocolate hobnobs and pour in strong coffee and a liqueur, seal the top with a clothes peg and put in the freezer then when set take it out and slice it! Wonder what its like!...........!

This recipe was handed down to me by my lovely nursing friend who sadly died when she was only 29 in 1981. That is why I called it Ursula's chocolate chestnut delight.
